Description

When opening a video on a shared link in iOS, you can't play the video in full screen, only inside the browser.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a share link
  2. open a video in iOS on that shared link
  3. use "Full screen"
  4. See that full screen is not working

I expect, that fullscreen should use the whole screen of my iPhone.

I tried to disable the viewer and then it works in iOS but gives me more trouble on Safari on Mac.

  • iPhone 11 Pro
  • iOS 14.8
  • NC 22.1.1

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shared-link video viewer flow on iOS using the listed steps and device details. Trace the fullscreen behavior in the viewer and verify that selecting “Full screen” makes the video use the entire iPhone screen without breaking the related Safari behavior.
